Hi, I would be interested in receiving quotes for a number plate recognition system in php. Actually what I am looking for is more a class where I can pass an image in and get the characters on the number plate back as a string. The system should be created in a way that it can be set up to work on number plates around the world. Initially only UK number plates are required. PM me your price and time you would need to do this. Thanks.
This is not possible in PHP , PHP is not really capable of image recognition at a fast speed. Look into this java based OSS http://javaanpr.sourceforge.net/ You can create a java executable and a php wrapper around it , that should work.
Very possible in php. First thing that comes up in google for php ocr: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2874.html
Its possible in php imo. I have implemented edge detection and detecting distance width and height of specatcles from a photo. Will need a bit more time with same code for implementing ocr. That totally depends on the budget though
well you can encode movies using php too ... but itll take forever. As itll be very slow we have ffmpeg etc. Same goes with this job ,for a decent throughput its better implemented as a module/executable. OCR is after you have isolated the number plate.
